"I've been enjoying the various photos and reading the essays. It's going to take a while to get through it as it is heavy to handle. What a terrific legacy for all of us and for future generations! Great idea to include surnames with each village." Dimitris Koutrafouris, the Bank Manager of the National Bank of Greece, branch, Potamos, Kythera, placed the book on display in the summer of 2013. As locals and Kytherians of the diaspora thumbed through the book, their first instinct was to try and find their own houses, or those of their grandparents and relatives. Most were not satisfied until that were certain that they had found their houses. Often they had to solicit the help of realtives and friends to help locate them. The book contains virtually every structure on the island, in every part of the island, which makes it a very valuable Kytherian resource.
